Chillcast #193: OMG

1 Comment

Today’s show is a bit of a study in contrasts; the music is half mellow and half upbeat — mixing downtempo, electropop, and drum ‘n’ bass — and my personal news is partly sad and partly ecstatic. Be sure to listen through to the end of the show to hear my big dorky fangirl brush with #18 of the Lakers! I’m still debating whether or not I want to put the video on YouTube; poor Sasha is already getting teased enough online without an “OMG OMG OMG” video adding to the craziness. But don’t worry, that story is just a tiny part of this hour long episode, which is packed with great tunes — including a couple of sweet free downloads you won’t want to miss!

Artist Of The Week: Sleepthief ‘Labyrinthine Heart’

Leave a comment

Its been 3 years since Justin Elwick’s debut album as Sleepthief,  but it seems his time has been well spent. This 12 track collection of new songs offers a subtle range of moods and emotions, helped in part by the delicious variety of vocals contributed by a veritable who’s-who of ethereal vocal collaborators. I would have said “divas” but for the notable exception of male vocalist, Coury Palermo, a welcome addition to the album’s otherwise female lineup. Returning guest artists from previous album, The Dawnseeker, are Kirsty Hawkshaw, Kristy Thirsk, Jody Quine, Caroline Lavelle, and Roberta Carter Harrison. Additional divas this time include Zoe Johnston and Joanna Stevens, both of Delerium fame, and both excellent choices for this project. The music flows effortlessly between symphonic New Age styled pieces such as “Here I Confess,” “Skimming Stones,” and “Ariadne,” to more upbeat pop-edged fare, such as “A Cut From a Fight,” “Fire King,” and the album single, “World Gone Crazy.” Labyrinthine Heart is available digitally on iTunes and Amazon Mp3, but I highly recommend picking up the CD for the gorgeous album art and booklet which includes the lyrics to every romantic song with amazing visual accompaniment.
